  "abstract": "In these notes we present a pedagogical account of the population dynamics methods recently introduced to simulate large deviation functions of dynamical observables in and out of equilibrium. After a brief introduction on large deviation functions and their simulations, we review the method of Giardin\\`a \\emph{et al.} for discrete time processes and that of Lecomte \\emph{et al.} for the continuous time counterpart. Last we explain how these methods can be modified to handle static observables and extract information about intermediate times.",
